So, basically you're creating an insurance inventory?

A barcode inventory might be a good solution also.  There are programs out
there, free, web based, and for $$$.  The barcode reader will cost more.  A
cuecat (~$15 on ebay) can also do barcodes and there are simple apps that
convert it to text.  I found the quality what you paid for it though.

Having the photos solves 90% of the problem :-)
